Elk hair Caddis ? Found An Excellent Source For Elk Hair!

[flymaker2]

Just had to share this great image taken and sent to me by a fellow fly fisher friend and Genetic Hackle producer - Doc Knoll from Prey Montana, USA.



Doc recently took this image just outside of the "Park". Hopefully a pesky fly tyer doesn't live in that house!

WOW! Is there such a number as GAZILLION?
Cuz that's my guess of how many size 16 Elk Hair Caddis flies that elk could produce.
I wouldn't bother him for any hair though, maybe a cow elk instead.
Thanks for the photo!

Hard to believe, but the things can be a pest in the winter. We used to live in Montana, know the area well and often saw them grazing on 'landscaping.' But,,, a 7x7 is not a common sight, for sure.

Must be tricky to clip the small qty of hair off one as to not irritate it in the process- even just enough for a dozen EHCs.

I'd like mine bleached

Clamp a scissors between your teeth, hop on back and hold on tight!

Here's a pretty good source as well (if you're brave). Don't miss the ones in the shade of the building
ng. Happy huntin'.

Is that an ear tag in that big bull?

We were watching one like that from a restaurant window at Mammoth in October - waitress said it had tried to tip over a Mini Cooper that parked too close to it's "harem" the day before.

I would have paid money to see a bull elk stand on a Mini and bugle!
